The Weird Way of Immortality: My Taoism Progress in One Day a Year

Chapter 222 Prologue
Although Li Yan is a practicing sorcerer.

But his purpose was completely different from that of all the practitioners in this world from the very beginning.

He came here in order to align himself with the Tao and plunder the laws of this world and the origin of the Heavenly Dao.

To achieve this goal, even if he had enough power to suppress all the strong people in the world, it would still be far from enough.

Because his real enemy is not the strong people in this world.

But it is the will of heaven in this world.

This world is completely on a different level from the previous world he experienced.

If he followed the routine, even if he successfully cultivated to the first-grade Tribulation Immortal, he would not be able to achieve this goal.

If he were a first-class or super-class strong man, he would be able to achieve harmony with the Tao, and it would not be Li Yan's turn to come here.

Therefore, he built an extremely solid foundation from the very beginning.

When he reached the third rank of sorcerer and was conceiving the Dao fetus, he already had the strength to look down on the world.

But now he has broken into the second level, his Dao fetus has transformed into Yang God, and his strength has been further improved.

All the top-ranking warriors in the world from ancient times to the present can only crawl at his feet.

With such strength, why would he worry about the attack of a tiny demon god?

Although he knew that there was a bigger black hand behind this evil god's disaster.

But his strength has already reached the point where he is fearless.

Therefore, he was not worried at all about the person behind the scenes appearing.

Instead, he really wanted to know what expression the people behind the scenes would have when they saw him appear with his true strength.

Xia Yu didn't know Li Yan's true strength at the moment.

But he now knows clearly that although Li Yan's realm is only at the second level, his current strength is indeed able to compete with the first-level strongmen.

Because even when he was facing a first-rank strongman, he had never felt such a strong sense of oppression.

"Good good!"

Xia Yu's face flushed. After seeing the pressure Li Yan displayed, he understood.

Li Yan, a descendant of the Great Xia royal family, has grown up.

Now it has become the pillar of Daxia.

Originally, he had known for a long time that Li Yan would definitely be able to lead Da Xia to its peak.

But I originally thought that I would never be able to see this scene in my lifetime.

But I didn't expect that Li Yan's talent was so terrifying.

However, in just a dozen years, he had cultivated to such a level.

With Li Yan, the pillar of the country, Daxia is like having a magic needle to stabilize the sea.

At the level of a first-class strong man, there is finally no need to be afraid of others.

Daxia finally had a foundation to stand on.

Xia Yu's divine will dissipated from the Observatory and returned to his body.

He looked at the arrogant Dongfang Leiming in front of him and replied calmly, "Dongfang Wusheng, I have thought it through. Let's stop the alliance with Tianxiang Kingdom."

"My Great Xia will face the attack of the demon god independently. There is no need for Eastern Martial Saint to worry."

"So please ask the Eastern Martial Saint to return!"

Xia Yu's firm tone caused everyone present to look at him sideways, with surprise on their faces.

They all didn't know why Xia Yu's attitude had changed so drastically during this period of time.

Xia Yu did not give much explanation for this.

Since Li Yan has hidden his realm, he doesn't want others to know.

Of course, he would not rashly expose Li Yan's strength, so as to avoid letting the demon clan know and letting the demon god be on guard.

In his eyes, although Li Yan had a powerful aura, he was only a second-grade after all.

If we set up an ambush in the territory of Daxia and wait for the enemy to tire themselves out, we might be able to catch the demon god off guard and defeat him.

But if they fight head-on, the Demon God is only of the first rank after all.

Although Li Yan's aura of coercion was no less than that of a first-grade warrior, he was still unsure how much his strength lagged behind that of a first-grade warrior.

Therefore, he did not intend to tell others about Li Yan's current realm and strength.

Dongfang Leiming showed a trace of surprise when he heard this.

Seeing Xia Yu's previous attitude, he thought that the matter was half done.

However, he never expected that in a short period of time, Xia Yu seemed to have become a different person. He directly refused the alliance and did not leave any room for maneuver.

"Emperor Yu, have you thought it through? With your realm, it is impossible for you to succeed in breaking through. If you don't help me break through to the first level, how will your Great Xia face the attack of the demon god?"

"Are you ready to give up resistance?"

Dongfang Leiming spoke with a look of shock and anger.

"We in Great Xia have our own way to deal with it, so there is no need for Eastern Martial Saint to worry."

Xia Yu's eyes turned cold when he heard this.

Li Yan said that he would definitely not be able to break through. He thought that was the fact and didn't feel anything.

But what the Eastern Martial Saint said was really a bit irritating to him.

"Or does the Eastern Martial Saint not want to leave and wants to stay as a guest in Daxia?"

Xia Yu's tone was cold and stern, which made Dongfang Leiming's heart jump.

Although he didn't know where Xia Yu's confidence came from, Xia Yu had already said so much. If he stayed any longer, he might really become an enemy of Da Xia.

Although he believed that Daxia would surely be destroyed by the evil god after one month.

But now Da Xia’s strength is still at its peak.

Although there are no first-rank strongmen, there are quite a few second- and third-rank ones.

Even though he was at the peak of the second rank, if he really caused the wrath of Da Xia, there would be no possibility for him to escape unscathed in the Da Xia Imperial City.

Dongfang Leiming's expression became much calmer when he thought of this, and he said slowly: "Since Emperor Yu doesn't welcome me, I won't stay here any longer."

"Next, I will wait in Daxia for three days. If Emperor Yu changes his mind within three days, the conditions I mentioned before will remain unchanged, and I will still help Daxia resist the demon god."

He felt a little regretful, thinking that his previous attitude was a bit too arrogant, which led to Xia Yu changing his mind.

The reason why he had made such a gesture before was, firstly, because he felt that Daxia had no other choice, and secondly, he wanted to take the opportunity to gain more benefits for himself and bear less responsibilities, so as not to be controlled by the royal family of Daxia.

However, they did not expect that it would cause a backlash, leading to the failure of the alliance.

Without Daxia's support, it would not be easy for him to break through.

So for him, it was equivalent to losing an opportunity, and he naturally felt regretful.

But at the moment, Xia Yu's expression was firm, and it seemed that even if he lowered his head again, it would not have any effect.

He might as well leave the imperial city first. If Xia Yu changes his mind within three days, he will contact him.

But if the three-day limit is exceeded, there won’t be enough time for a breakthrough.

He also has to worry about the demon god suddenly showing up, so after the three-day limit, he will leave immediately.

He didn't want to confront the demon god so soon.

Dongfang Leiming immediately left the imperial city.

After Dongfang Leiming left, the people in the royal family looked at Xia Yu with concern.

"Ancestor Xia Yu, if we don't form an alliance with the Eastern Martial Saint, are you really going to use your secret method to break through the realm and fight to the death?"

As the most senior ancestor in the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Yu’s words represent the opinions of the Great Xia royal family.

So when Xia Yu shouted at Dongfang Leiming to leave, they did not try to stop him.

But after Dongfang Leiming left, they still expressed their concerns.

“No, although I don’t want to admit it, it is indeed impossible for me to break into the first level.”

Xia Yu sighed and shook his head slightly.

After listening to Li Yan's words, he already knew that he could not break into the first rank. And now that he knew Li Yan's strength, he already had the capital to fight the demon god.

Of course he would not take risks again and would use secret techniques to break through on his own.

"What is the old ancestor's plan?"

These people in the Daxia royal family asked curiously.

They didn't understand what Xia Yu was thinking. Without a first-class strong man, how could they stop the demon god?

Xia Yu pondered for a moment and felt that he still needed to reveal some information.

Otherwise, people will be in panic, and even their own army will be unstable, let alone the entire Daxia.

So he opened his mouth and said slowly: "Don't worry, I have made an acquaintance with a strong man. He is willing to come forward and help us resist the demon god, but this matter is of great importance, you must not disclose the news!"

He did not reveal the news about Li Yan, only saying that he had met a strong man.

In this way, even if the demon clan really learned of this news, they might regard it as an empty city plan and not take it seriously.

After all, there are only a few first-class strong men in the world, so it is not easy for a strong man to appear who can stop the demon god.

Now the God of War Nangong Sheng is seriously injured and cannot come.

The Great Cold Immortal, Xiao Han, has an even worse relationship with Da Xia. Even if Da Xia comes to him for help, he will not help them.

Da Xia is at the level of first-class strongmen, and now it is isolated and helpless, and it is impossible to find strong men to help.

Just wait for the demon god to recover his fighting power and come to Daxia.

Daxia will become a lamb to be slaughtered, allowing the demons to wreak havoc.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Daxia royal family showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

Of course they would not suspect Xia Yu of lying. After all, this was a matter of life and death for Da Xia.

Moreover, this also explains why Xia Yu's attitude towards Dongfang Leiming changed drastically just now.

It must be because Xia Yu got the news that the strong man was willing to take action.

With the support of the mysterious strong man that Xia Yu mentioned, they finally felt at ease.

One by one, they followed the procedure and assisted the sorcerers of the Observatory in setting up magic circles in the imperial city.

Although the magic circle may not be able to resist the demon god, those high-level demons will definitely be subject to some restrictions when they come to the imperial city.

At the time, the royal family of Daxia was busy resisting the invasion of the demon tribe into the imperial city.

Inside the Observatory.

Li Yan's floor welcomed another guest.

"Master Qingyun, I wonder why you are here?"

Li Yan looked at Taoist Qingyun and spoke slowly.

"Ninth Prince, I think you should have known for a long time that I am a member of the Xiangzhu Society!"

"indeed so."

Li Yan nodded slightly.

From the first moment he saw Taoist Qingyun, he knew that this Taoist Qingyun was a member of the Xiangzhu Society in the Great Xia Imperial City.

"By now, the Ninth Prince should have known that the Demon God is about to attack the Great Xia Imperial City."

"This is Daxia's calamity, and there is no way to avoid it. When the demon god descends, no one in the imperial city will be able to escape."

"Ninth Prince, you are so talented, you shouldn't perish along with the Great Xia royal family."

"So I would like to ask the Ninth Prince to leave the Stargazing Pavilion and go to the territory of my Chu State to hide."

Taoist Qingyun spoke to Li Yan with a serious expression.

As a native of Chu, he would not choose to live and die with Daxia.

At the same time, because of the royal blood of Chu in Li Yan, he would not sit idly by and watch Li Yan die in the Great Xia Imperial City.

Therefore, he went directly to Li Yan and invited Li Yan to leave the Great Xia Imperial City.

After all, on the one hand, Li Yan has amazing potential, and on the other hand, the royal family of Chu is small.

No matter which point, he should not die in the Great Xia Imperial City.

"I appreciate Taoist Qingyun's kindness, but I don't plan to leave."

Li Yan shook his head.

"I know that you are worried that the demon god will come and Da Xia will be destroyed. But when the demon god comes, you will know that Da Xia will not perish."

Taoist Qingyun frowned and sighed.

He knew Li Yan's strength, and it was impossible for him to take Li Yan away by force.

So Li Yan refused to follow him away, and he had no choice.

"Well, I'll wait here. If no one in Daxia can fight against the demon god, we'll take advantage of the chaos and leave."

"Next, I will go and borrow a high-level flying magic weapon. By then, as long as we don't attract the attention of the demon god, we will have a chance to escape from it."

After Taoist Qingyun finished speaking, he did not stay any longer and flew away directly.

Li Yan's expression remained unchanged. He looked quietly towards the south, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Come on, I want to know how powerful the demon gods in this world are."

……

"Chen Yan, how long will it take for you to comprehend the full righteousness?"

Lu Liang came to Yuehua Academy and found Chen Yan.

This is where Chen Yan taught, and many of Chen Yan's theories were born here.

He has also been comprehending the great and righteous spirit here.

"almost."

Chen Yan looked calm. He was just a teacher in a white robe in his early thirties, but he was very knowledgeable.

That is why he was able to receive the favor of heaven when he offered sacrifices of destiny to Daxia, and became the designated Confucian saint of Daxia.

He studied poetry and books, created knowledge, and taught his disciples.

I have already understood most of the righteous energy between heaven and earth.

But it still takes some time to fully understand it.

Before this, although he had a righteous spirit protecting his body, he could not use it and could only use it for defense.

Only by thoroughly comprehending the great and righteous spirit can he become a saint instantly and achieve the pinnacle of Confucianism and Taoism as soon as he is born.

Although Lu Liang did not tell him that the Demon God was about to lead the demon army to attack the city, he was afraid that it would affect his mood.

But he had a clear mind and had already guessed from the urgency in Lu Liang's eyes that something big was about to happen.

Moreover, if he fails to comprehend the great righteousness in time, bad things may happen.

However, his mind had long been detached from the world, so he was not affected too much.

But at the same time, he had no way to speed up the process. Although he knew that Lu Liang was anxious, he could not immediately comprehend all the righteous energy.

"It's almost there again."

Lu Liang was anxious and sighed secretly.

Xia Yu refused to form an alliance with Dongfang Leiming, and Chen Yan would most likely not be able to catch up with the disaster caused by the demon god.

This made him not know what to do for a moment.

Although he had not personally experienced the disaster caused by the demon god in his previous life, he knew that it was extremely tragic.

The Great Xia royal family was completely destroyed by the demon god. The demon clan massacred the city for three days, causing countless casualties.

In the end, if the destined saint Chen Yan had not been born, the entire Daxia might have been completely destroyed.

“Is history really unchangeable?”

Lu Liang felt helpless.

Although he had made many preparations, the overwhelming force crushed him and he had no way to resist.
